There is a difference between the IMAP protocol itself (RFC 2060) and the imap:// URL scheme (RFC 2192). At this time REBOL only supports the imap:// URL scheme, which has a subset of the full IMAP protocol functionality. It handles mailbox lists, message lists, retrieving and deleting of messages, and message searches, i.e. it is API-compatible to pop://, with added support for multiple mailboxes and searches. Move/copy/rename and other administrative IMAP functions are not specified in RFC 2192 and not supported by REBOL's imap:// scheme at this time. -- Holger Kruse [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
